how do I remove " from string?

DFstr

"Hi, I need help with editing a text. I want to remove quotation marks from some numbers, but not from other parts. Here's an example of what I have:

 

"type": "text", "id": "761", "formId": "2052", "label": "mail",

 

And here's what I want it to look like:

 

"type": "text", "id": 761, "formId": 2052, "label": "mail

 

Using replace characher tool is not an option, hence I was trying to replace :

"id": " with  "id": 

", "formId": " with ", "formId": 

, "label" with , label"

 

 

 I tried to use following method: :

  • Replace "id": " with "id":
  • Replace ", "formId": " with ", "formId":
  • Replace , "label" with , label

But when I use Replace([JSON_ValueString], """id": """, ""id": "), I am getting error message ("malformed statemet "

"

 

Replace([JSON_ValueString], """id": """, ""id": ") - is malformed statemet 

 

How can I do this without errors?

 

Thanks!

Hello @DFstr 

Please see solution attached, using regex.

this won´t do the job, as I have another spots where I need to have number between double quotes. E.g. "imageChoices_showLabels": "1", needs to stay as it is
